$A$ square of side $3 \ cm$ is placed at a distance of $25 \ cm$ from a concave mirror of focal length $10 \ cm$. The center of the square is on the axis of the mirror and the plane is perpendicular to the axis. The area enclosed by the image of the square is ........ $cm^2$.

$A$ rod of length $10 \text{ cm}$ lies along the principal axis of a concave mirror of focal length $10 \text{ cm}$ as shown in the figure. The length of the image is . . . . . . $\text{cm}$.

$A$ small linear object is placed on the optical axis of a concave mirror. If the distance of the nearest end of the object from the mirror is greater than the radius of curvature,then:

Define the following for curved mirrors: $(1)$ Radius of curvature,$(2)$ Centre of curvature,$(3)$ Pole,$(4)$ Principal axis,$(5)$ Aperture,$(6)$ Principal focus,$(7)$ Focal plane,$(8)$ Focal length,$(9)$ Paraxial rays.

$A$ short straight object of height $100\, cm$ lies before the central axis of a spherical mirror whose focal length has absolute value $|f|=40\, cm$. The image of the object produced by the mirror is of height $25\, cm$ and has the same orientation as the object. One may conclude from the information:

How is it convenient to obtain an image by reflection from a spherical mirror?
